I am the same way when it comes to violence (especially when it involves children). I am only on page 80 of The Instructions so far b/c I took a break to read another book that I have on my review schedule for this month. But I'm definitely going to pick it back up! I should finish the book I'm reading now tonight or tomorrow (it's about 250 pages). Then I'm gonna keep on chugging along w/ The Instructions. I still haven't started Freedom. I just can't get excited about it. I'm thinking I won't get to it until late November or early December. I hope I'm finished w/ The Instructions by then! I could go on and on about why I loved Richard Yates. But long story short the story just resonates with me. I can remember being a lot like the characters in that book at different points in my life. Also, I love the minimalist style of writing. I like the way he uses extreme concrete ideas or language to explain everything. But I remember that I was definitely in the minority during that one! And I can see why many people had issues with it. I'm looking forward to The Rumpus Women too! I think it'll be particularly nice b/c it's going to showcase various styles of writing. I hope you're feeling better. I can definitely relate to the cold medicine haze. I just started a round of antibiotics for a cold that I've had for oh... a month!
